...well....... in the virtual race anyway.... 
14,345th out of 40,000+ entries...
....it's curiously addictive - I've been playing for almost 3 weeks now so it's not surprising I suppose...
For this race I was sailing a virtual IMOCA 60 monohull (you had the option for the multi-hull classes if you wanted) and even in "virtuality" the speeds are quite exciting - I exited the channel doing 20 knots plus...! Just as well though as I lost two days at the beginning of the race as I forgot it had started, and when I logged on I found out I was in Dartmouth!!
All in all I picked up just over 10,000 places between then and the end so I'm more than happy...
Whole track, that's me in pink - the red line is the direct route, the orange track is one of the real boats (Safran).. the red dots are other boats still finishing...
..good fun - recommended even if it doesn't beat real sailing...!
